Honoring a Legacy.
Inspiring the Next Generation.
The Pop-Pop Heath Scholarship is awarded each year to two student-athletes at New Hope-Solebury High School who carry forward the values he lived by: dedication, hard work, generosity, and faith.
A Life Well Lived
The Man Behind the Scholarship
Pop-Pop Heath was a man who never asked what others could do for him. He only asked what he could do for others. He lived his life guided by deep faith, a generous spirit, and an unwavering commitment to the people around him.
He was the second generation of Heath's Service Station in Lambertville, New Jersey, a family institution that has served the community for decades. Today, his son Bob Heath Jr. carries on that tradition as the third-generation owner, keeping the family's legacy of service alive.
This scholarship is a tribute to everything he stood for. It is our way of ensuring that his spirit of selflessness, hard work, and community lives on in the young men and women of New Hope-Solebury.
"He never asked what others could do for him. He only asked what he could do for others."
